Obviously very early days and I'm not entirely sure how it will or won't affect me, however I just wanted to get some advice as to where I might stand.

I've just started a 2 year lease on a diesel Golf. I crunch motorway miles, so fuel economy is obviously a major selling point (among other things). As far as I understand it, there is a possibility that the car's performance will be decreased after a software update, however that isn't clear at the moment.

What might VW owners and leasers expect, particularly those whose cars are, say, less than 6 months old?
